2013 Recap

I've fallen out of the habit of tallying what I've done for the year. I've also gotten lax about keeping notes of what I've read this year (in part because I've abandoned so many books partway through--Sigh).

But here goes a quick summary of 2013:

New books:

Poetry collections for adults:DELETED NAMES from A Midsummer Night's Press.

Kidzbooks written in Spanish:LA CASA DE LOS ESPEJOS, illustrated by Rocío Parra, was published in Colombia by Panamericana.VOLANDO COMETAS, illustrated by Nuria Fortuny, was published in Spain in Spanish and Catalan by Edicions Bellaterra. (A Slovenian translation also appeared this fall from Alef.)
